Weekly Photo Challenge: Fleeting Moment

/ June 29, 2012

My favourite “fleeting moment” photo that I have ever taken is the one of the student walking home from the bus stop in Liege Belgium in December 2011. I thought I’d blogged it before but for the life of me I can’t find where… So, if I have previously, forgive me. If I haven’t – enjoy.

I saw her walking, and so jumped out of my car, rested my camera against the car roof and snapped it. ISO 1600, 1/40 second, f5, -0.7 exposure bias, 85mm focal length, and black and white action in Photoshop using “Kevin’s Secret Formula”.

    • Ah, but that’s how I actually liked it… I felt that it gave the photo a feeling of movement – and how Liege is – kind of dark and depressing.

      • ah ben ça c’est un super commentaire…
        faut vraiment que tu reviennes en été, tu fais fuir les touristes…
        Mais, Liège est la “cité ardente” car le soleil qui n’est pas dehors, les gens l’ont dans le coeur 😉

        (et quand Karen est venue en mai, il faisait très chaud et ensoleillé…)

        • Ha ha ha, yes I thought you might have something to say about my photo and comment. When I saw Liege on TV two days ago during the Tour de France I couldn’t believe how sunny it looked! Remember, this is the city where I didn’t see the sun from November to January one year. And where I’d leave to go to school (when I went to school) in the dark, and return home in the dark! I love your comment about the people having the sun in their hearts…
